Surf’s Up!

Oh those wild and wacky sea going mammals! If it’s not orcas attacking boats off the coasts of Spain and Scotland, or swimming around the Puget Sound with a fish on their head, it’s surf board stealing otters in California!

Let’s go surfing’ now
Let an otter show you how
Come on a safari with me!

Orca Orca Orca

Back in my college days, I had my nose in a Big Fish Thriller and was completely engrossed. These were the days just after the release of Jaws, and everyone wanted to get on the Malevolent Sea Creature bandwagon. I think maybe there was a novel about a giant squid too.

So there I am, nose in book, and my friend was trying to get my attention, and finally she just yelled in my face, “ORCA ORCA ORCA!!!

I might not remember what I went into the kitchen for today, but I do remember life’s high points!

This ‘toon (and Thursday’s) are based on the true story of a pod of Orcas attacking boats off the Spanish coast. Would I lie to you?

Fugitive Tigers Terrify in Tornado Tempest

I am much better at finding “P” words than I am at “T” words, other than Trouble that starts with a capital “T” and that rhymes with “P” and that stands for PANDA!!! The Nooz crossed my screen about some tigers that escaped during a recent tornado that touched down somewhere in Georgia, fell on the fence of the tiger enclosure and wouldn’t you know? Cats, being cats, they escaped! Hopefully they didn’t find any poodles (poodles are what tigers like best!) and maybe only found a shouty blonde congress”person”.

Here kitty kitty!

I wanted to let those of you who *might* miss me on Twidder (No judgment if you’re still there, but I just can’t bring myself to be there) that Substack has this new thing called “Notes” which is a Twidder-like conversation space. In fact, it is enough like Twidder, that it has Elmo pissed off and he is blocking links to Substack posts. (Hopefully without the a**holes, but we’ll see) and I think if you are subscribed to any of the Noozletters there (like mine, for instance) you can converse there too. Is it worth it? Who knows? But if you want to say hi to me there, you can. You can follow this link to get started.

All the Nooz That Fits!

I swear I may have to make some resolutions about getting my ‘toons done a little more in advance instead of…um…2 hours after I usually try to post.

Crocodiles may not be drawn to scale.

Bob T You can find me over at Heffalump Panda

Have you seen the annual replay of It’s a WUnderful Life over at Substack? Well what are ya waiting for?

Australian Crocodiles Give New Meaning to the Phrase: Pig Out

While the Zoo Director sorts out Pinky’s “modifications” to yard three, we have a very important story to cover at ZooNooZ.

One might have to ask oneself, is replacing feral swine with crocodiles an improvement?

Bob T is that a log, or…Panda

It’s all fun & games until there is a javalina in your car.

But really…who can blame the little piggy! Chips are really hard to resist!

I really don’t want to think about the clean up. I suspect the owner would be better off just torching the car.

What is the Collective Noun for Zebras?

I found several names, the first being a dazzle, but I also found they can be called a zeal! I love alliterations, so a zeal of zebras hits me just right!

A group of pandas, of course, is an embarrassment. No, I mean that’s what a group of pandas is called. I mean, pandas can be embarrassing! I mean have you seem them eat? Before you know it, their tummies are covered in bamboo pieces, or cookie crumbs, or frosting…

Some Pandas are embarrassing even when they’re NOT in a group!

We have a zeal for zebras!!!

Read on for some exciting NOOZ!!!!

Yeas! It’s true! Book 9 of the Panda Chronicles is right around the corner!!! I’ve been working on it, procrastinating, working a bit more, some more procrastination, interspersed with some new technology frustration, but it is finally DONE!!!!

Proofs have been ordered, and should arrive by early next week, so as soon as I make sure they put in the pages in the right order and right directions, I can push the old publish button, and BOB’S YOUR UNCLE!!!

And now, a little cover reveal, just for you to see first!

Pretty exciting, Huh?

Stay ‘tooned!
